Dearest Suzy- this is a FANTASTIC little journal- OH my so many textures, and wonderful fabric`s- so much love-and happines went into making this, --the front with all the bits and pieces and SOOO beautiful colors-are amazing-and gorgeus.I love it, sweetest friend.Have a lovely evening-Suzy dear.Hugs,Dorthe

What an enjoyment to discover sublime tone work Suzy! I too have difficulty stopping embellishing, oops … My husband often says me: " You did not finish? ", and I answer him " Noooooo, just still a little!;-) " ..

Suzi, I love what you have done with this: i find it difficult to build up the layers with such exuberance. My natural impulse is to be economical but I am trying to break free of that.You always inspire me.

What a beautiful Journal! I love all the layers you used. I have trouble building up all those layers. I think, "that does not go with the rest". When I should be adding more with the contrasts, making it work. Great job and I have enjoyed seeing this and most importantly learning!Deb

Oh Yum!! I could fall right into all the lucious beauty of it!!! I ahve sucha hard time finding tattered laces- I think that most folks throw them away- that kills me- sometimes I really prefer the damaged ones as I don't feel bad cutting them up when they are damaged or stained!!!! Have a glorious week yourself , my friend!!!

Suzy Q! Oh my goodness! Gorgeous! If I could just come to your studio for a day or two...hmm..maybe three and just admire the beauty of it all! I would be in happy land for sure. Love all the lace and details! You are phenomenal! My fabric She-roh!

Is there anywhere in your house that is not filled with glorious fabrics you can use because this little steps book is amazing and I cannot even imagine what you have to pick from to create your spectacular work. Each book a story, a history.

Hi Suzy,Gosh, this is gorgeous!I wonder how you start a piece like this and is the basic book fabric or paper?Oh how i'd love to touch and feel it. I'm a hands on kinda gal. lolHappy creating,Hugs,Anna

It's over the top gorgeous, dear Suzy! I love all the layers and the texture. You have a wonderful stash of fabrics and laces and you always create such fantastic pieces of artwork with these materials.Hugs to you,Julia

Suzy, the textures are amazing. You've given me a bit of a push here! Last year I began a white-on-white "thingie" that was going to become a tote or pillow top and I put it away because I wasn't liking the layout. I think I'll drag it out again and begin putting more layers on it. Maybe that's all it needed! Hugs, DIane

Miss Suziqu-I am visiting you by way of my friend Dorthe. I am truly blown away by your beautiful and creative journal design. Such a marvelous use of fabrics and textures - I CANNOT even imagine the amount of work and preparation that went into this magnificent creation. THIS is talent - I am amazed.

Your photos are beautiful and so is your blog. Kudos to you and congradulations on the completion of this wonderful and beautiful project.

Your journal is both glorious and precious. You must have spent hours creating it. You are an inspiration and I love the creating experience when I find something that I have never tried making before...such it is with your journal. I am definitely inspired to make something like it, as I have many articles of vintage laces and trims, and I absolutely LOVE journals!!!Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.Teresa in California

Hi Suzi. I tried sending you an email but the link did not work. Anyway it was just to let you know that I had finally finished that crazy quilt i started about a year ago! I have popped up a post about it with a link back to your blog. http://www.sesenarts.com/2011/04/story-of-patch-work-quilt.html Have a lovely Easter break. Julie

Well, this one is quite, quite beautiful - i wish i could hold it! It's the looking down & in photo I like best, all that scrumpciousness ! Have you/will you ever do/done a tutorial on attaching pages? Just thought I'd be cheeky & ask.... ;)

This is the most beautiful journal I have ever seen Suzi! I get what you mean about the embellishing ~ but yours are always so perfect! i adore your creations and aim and inspire to be more like you as I create. Just couldn't past up the chance to wish you a blessed day! Hope it is with all my love and best wishes, Katie

Creating for me is essential! It feeds my heart and soul. It is a large part of who I am.
I have a passion for vintage fabrics, silks, velvets, laces and embellishments inc. jewellery which I incorporate into my collages for journals etc.
My love also of antiques, time worn treasures - all things tarnished, tattered and pre-loved goes hand in hand with my creativity but above all I try to live a simple self-sufficient rural life style with my husband inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us here.
